R0T0R Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Can't say I'm surprised. Canadians don't want to work there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Their crews are pretty much exclusively Oz/NZ. What ROTOR said... They have 4 machines and hire 4 pilots for the entire season. So guess what the rotations are like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell-powered Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Its for the Canadian fire season.. not that us Canadian don't want yo work down there. They are looking for pilots for Canada. But not looking in Canada.. think we can look back and see a lot of threads about this topic. Its BS in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R0T0R Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 When you need to hold the journey log hostage to get paid it's pretty bad. There was also a car chase down the trans-canada if I'm not mistaken.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 When you ask how you're supposed to know when maintenance is due on your machine (ie alert card), and you're told "don't worry about it, when something's due, JB will just show up", rings some pretty serious alarm bells... Oh ! And don't forget that you're paying to put gas in the crew vehicle out of your own pocket so you can go get your groceries in town...
